Fang Cheng woke up due to a strong feeling of hunger.

He opened his eyes and found that it was already the next morning.

My stomach was growling wildly, as if I hadn't eaten for ten and a half days.

Fang Cheng couldn't help but turn pale. The hunger was so strong that it made him dizzy and weak.

He struggled to roll out of bed, climbed on all fours to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and stuffed all the edible items into his mouth.

While eating frantically, Fang Cheng noticed a line of small words appearing in his field of vision.

[Eating +1]

For a moment, he was so surprised that he even forgot to swallow the food in his mouth.

These words come and go quickly, fleeting, but very clear.

Fang Cheng subconsciously swallowed the food in his mouth, and another line of words appeared in his field of vision.

[Eating +1]

This shouldn't be an hallucination caused by hunger and dizziness.

But Fang Cheng didn't have time to care about that now. He wolfed down everything in the refrigerator. His hunger was only slightly relieved, and his body regained some strength.

Lying on the ground, Fang Cheng had time to think at this moment.

Last night, he was fucked to death by the Blood Queen just after traveling through time, and was fucked to death by Kanzaki Rin again when he returned home. In the end, he successfully drove her away, and Fang Cheng was so tired that he fell asleep.

Looking back now, it seems that his body was shot and resurrected before being bitten by the Blood Queen, who said something was wrong with him.

Coupled with the numbers in his eyes and the prompts that appeared when eating, Fang Cheng had reason to suspect that his immortality was not due to vampires, but to another reason.

Could it be the golden finger that comes with time travel?

Fang Cheng tried it enthusiastically for a while, but didn't call out any system.

Soon there was another growling sound from my stomach. The food I just ate had been completely digested, not even a single residue was left.

Fang Cheng could only take his wallet and walk out of the house to look for food outside.



Fang Cheng had never been to Tokyo in his previous life, but he could also see that this city was very different from his previous life.

The buildings are denser and taller. Looking up from the ground, the sky is cut into irregular squares, like a cage, which makes people feel depressed.

Fang Cheng felt that this city already had a bit of a cyberpunk feel, especially since these high-rise buildings were decorated with colorful neon lights and signs, as well as steel pipes that could be seen everywhere.

The reason for this is that many livable places in District 11 have been invaded by supernatural monsters, especially in the countryside. In the worst cases, entire villages and people often disappear.

Under such a threat, humans have to concentrate in big cities, causing buildings in cities to be built higher and higher, and the space for activities to become narrower and narrower.

Not just District 11, but other countries around the world.

There are some patrol drones flying in the sky from time to time. If any illegal behavior is discovered, they will fly down to broadcast warnings. More advanced drones even carry firearms.

Fang Cheng felt disgusted when he saw the drone. It was Kanzaki Rin who used the drone to chase him to his home last night.

Kanzaki Rin's face flashed through his mind, and Fang Cheng suddenly remembered what she warned him last night - the Blood Queen created many vampires, and these vampires would involve him in killing each other.

I don't know if it's true or if it's to scare him. If it's the former, that's really bad.



Fang Cheng randomly found a ramen restaurant on the roadside. After entering, he ordered a huge portion of ramen and ordered five bowls of it, which made the boss look dumbfounded.

Fang Cheng didn't care about other people's eyes and kept eating. The words "eating +1" kept appearing in his field of vision.

After finishing five bowls of ramen, the words in his field of vision changed to "full +1".

The hunger in Fang Cheng's stomach finally disappeared, and he was about eighty percent full.

If it were the original owner's amount of food, not to mention five large bowls, even a small bowl would be enough. He would eat at least twenty times the usual amount in this meal.

After leaving the ramen shop, Fang Cheng went to the bank again to check his savings.

The deposit in the bank is in Asian dollars issued by the East Asian Revolutionary Alliance, which is only a little over 3,000.

The purchasing power of the Asian dollar is not low, but three thousand is still too little.

Fang Cheng silently calculated his consumption today, and then became a little panicked.

If he eats every meal like he did just now, he will be bankrupted in less than a month.

Even if you only eat one meal a day, you won't last long.

The inheritance left by the original owner's parents was not small, and there was no problem in using it for college, but he couldn't afford it and liked to spend a lot of money on krypton money, so he spent a lot of savings on the paper man's wife.

Looking at the pitiful savings, Fang Cheng couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Before time travel, I had been running for a living, but I didn’t expect that after time travel, I would still be unable to escape the fate of a social animal.

Fang Cheng had forgotten everything about Kanzaki Rin and vampires, so he had to think about how to make some money first.

After walking out of the bank, Fang Cheng went home thoughtfully, unaware of a sneaky shadow not far behind him.



Wearing a black hoodie, Kanzaki Rin stood at the corner of the street, his eyes following Fang Cheng's leaving figure.

She kept her promise yesterday and did not report Fang Cheng's identity to the department, but that didn't mean she would let it go.

Vampires' thirst for blood exceeds any human desire, and they will regularly come out to attack humans and cause tragedies.

Especially newborn vampires are in urgent need of blood to strengthen themselves.

Kanzaki Rin didn't think Fang Cheng was an exception, so he went to Fang Cheng's house early in the morning to keep an eye on him, preparing to steal the stolen goods personally.

But what surprised her was that Fang Cheng did not attack anyone, but instead went to a ramen restaurant and ate a lot.

It's not that vampires can't eat, it's just that ordinary food can no longer relieve their hunger, only blood can.

Fang Cheng seemed to have filled his stomach with ramen.

Not only that, he also showed no fear of the daytime. Generally, vampires would not choose to go out during the daytime even if the sun was not out. It would make them uncomfortable.

In all cases, Fang Cheng didn't behave like a vampire.

Kanzaki Rin almost thought that she had found the wrong person, but she was very sure that Fang Cheng was bitten by the Blood Queen and came back to life. He was stabbed in the heart by a dagger and was still running and beating.

But then again, he seems to be immune to silver daggers, and silver daggers can easily kill newborn vampires... This is too contradictory.

In short, Fang Cheng is full of mysteries that Kanzaki Rin can't understand, and she can't ignore them.

What's more, those photos that made Kanzaki Rin deeply ashamed were still in Fang Cheng's hands. Thinking that Fang Cheng might do strange things with these photos, Kanzaki Rin felt chills.

We must find a way to get it back! !

Seeing Fang Cheng walking away, Kanzaki Rin pulled up his hood and followed him leisurely.



After Fang Cheng returned home, he began to test the condition of his body.

He used methods such as cutting, burning, touching sockets, etc. to inflict injuries on the body and observe the recovery speed of the wounds.

After one experiment, Fang Cheng figured out several points.

First, as long as the injury is not fatal, the number in the pupil will not decrease.

Second, the recovery speed of the wound can be controlled. If the recovery speed is accelerated, it will significantly consume physical strength.

Third, hunger will appear after recovery from injury.

In addition, when Fang Cheng is exercising, [Exercise +1] prompts will appear on parts of his body, making it look like he is playing some game.

Fang Cheng couldn't figure out what was going on with his immortality now. The number in his eyes might be the number of resurrections. If he used up all of it, he might be doomed.

Physical matters can be left to find out the reasons later. Money issues are the first priority. Fang Cheng doesn't want to experience what it feels like to starve to death.

He returned to the bedroom and turned on the computer to see if there were any job postings online. He might as well find a job first.

After searching around, I found that there were very few recruitment information, and the requirements were for high-tech talents.

After the large-scale influx of rural people into cities, the labor force has exploded unprecedentedly, and several people are competing for a job. Therefore, there will be no jobs left for him, a high school student.

After searching for more than an hour and unable to find even a temporary worker, Fang Cheng couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

He clicked on the hidden folder and pulled out the "art photo" he took of Kanzaki Rin last night. He looked at it while stroking his chin and thinking.

If you sell these artistic photos to the boys at school, you should be able to get a good price.

These artistic photos in Fang Cheng's hands can definitely be sold for sky-high prices.

This idea made Fang Cheng very hesitant. It would be easy to sell it, but the consequence would be that Kanzaki Rin would definitely fight him.

Moreover, these photos are a good deterrent to her, but if they are sold, they will have no deterrent effect.

Of course, this idea also gave Fang Cheng some ideas. If he was really at the end of his rope, he might as well sell the photos to Kanzaki Rin. She should be interested.

"Didi..."

At this moment, the social software that started automatically on the computer suddenly received a message from a friend.

Fang Cheng opened it and saw a message from the other party: "Fang Jun, have you thought about it?"

What to consider?

Fang Cheng curiously checked the chat records between the two parties, and a memory buried deep in his heart emerged.

Fang Cheng's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he felt that he had found a way to become rich.
